As you may know, due to the horrendous attacks in Turkey earlier in the year, the 19th National Selection Conference was postponed to 22nd-27th November. Although we had selected a chairs’ team for the session back in March, due to the new dates, a number of the chairs are unable to attend. We are now looking to completely re-form the chairs’ team for the new dates of the session.
